Home ice rink

First day of winter on our rink. It is our second year building the rink...24'x 29'-8 1/4"..it is a hoot. The boys prefer to go 'sledding' on it. Last year it lasted from late December to early March. The sun is so intense here in Colorado so the shade helps.

Awesomne! Is it grass under the ice? How will the grass look like in spring??

[highridgemoteloc]

There is grass under there and it grows just fine come spring into summer. I will be posting new video in a few days. This video is from last winter. We are having some cold air in Colorado right now and I just started the process on the 1st of December. I should be skating in a week.

what did you make the net out of?

[highridgemoteloc]

The wood is 'landscaping wood' I bought at Lowes and the net was given to me. I use the net for soccer in the summer. It is worth the time and money to build something heavy for the beating it takes from the pucks. You don't get the 'ping' when you hit the post but it doesn't move at all.
